Overview
Large Print Press is a publishing division of Thorndike Press, the large-print imprint of Gale, which is itself part of Cengage Group. It specializes in producing large-print editions of popular and bestselling books, making them accessible to readers who benefit from larger type — including older adults, visually impaired readers, and library patrons who prefer a more comfortable reading format. The brand operates primarily in the library and institutional market, supplying public libraries, schools, and other organizations with durable, high-legibility editions of fiction and nonfiction titles. The catalog spans adult large print and youth large print, with new releases promoted through monthly catalogs. Titles include contemporary novels and thrillers such as "You Belong Here" by Megan Miranda, "The Locked Ward" by Sarah Pekkanen, and "Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Escape" by Brian Freeman. These are typically priced for the institutional market, with volume discount information available to libraries and bulk buyers. The operation is closely tied to Thorndike Press, whose website serves as the primary storefront and catalog for Large Print Press titles. As a division rather than a standalone company, Large Print Press does not have its own independent corporate history, stock listing, or executive team separate from its parent. Its identity is defined by its role within Thorndike Press and Gale: providing large-print publishing services and a steady stream of accessible editions to the library market. The brand's value proposition is accessibility and readability, positioning it as a specialist supplier rather than a general trade publisher.
History
Large Print Press is a division of Thorndike Press, a long-established American publisher of large-print books. Thorndike Press operates as an imprint within Gale, the reference and library publishing arm of Cengage Group. Large Print Press functions as a specialized division within this structure, focusing on large-print editions for adult and young readers. The brand's history is inseparable from that of Thorndike Press and Gale. Thorndike Press built its reputation supplying large-print books to public libraries, schools, and institutions, a market driven by demand for accessible reading materials. Large Print Press extends that mission by publishing large-print editions of contemporary and bestselling titles, often simultaneously with or shortly after the standard-print release. The catalog includes works by well-known authors such as Megan Miranda, Sarah Pekkanen, and Brian Freeman, whose titles appear on the Thorndike Press platform. Because Large Print Press is a division rather than an independent company, it has no separate founding date, ownership structure, or corporate milestones recorded in public sources. Its development tracks the growth of the large-print market and the consolidation of library publishing under Gale and Cengage. The brand continues to operate as an active publishing line, with new releases promoted through monthly catalogs and sold primarily through the Thorndike Press website and institutional distribution channels.
